The Bottle and The Business

William Schragis / Culinary Institute of America

Champagne is an iconic word in the lexicon of wine. Yes, it is the name of a specific region. However, it also evokes celebration, opulence, and imagery around the globe. Revered as it is, Champagne is also one of the world’s most misunderstood bottles. There are very specific geographic and production guidelines that inform what can and cannot be called Champagne, or more specifically what is Champagne and what most certainly is not.
